A holder (10) for a beverage container (100) comprising a receptacle (24) for receiving a beverage container bottom portion (102) of the beverage container (100) and a container retaining element (26) operatively coupled to the receptacle (24) for engaging the container (100) to maintain the container bottom portion (102) in the receptacle (24) when the beverage container (100) is held by the holder (10). The holder (10) is provided with a selectively closed drain (88) to allow outflow of condensation or spillage from the receptacle (24) when the drain (88) is opened.

There are included a packing material that has a moisture-proof property and forms a third space, a liquid ejecting head that includes a case member which forms a second space communicating with the third space, and a first moisture absorbing material and a piezoelectric element which are disposed in the second space, and is disposed in the third space, and a second moisture absorbing material that has a higher moisture absorbing property than that of the first moisture absorbing material and is disposed in the third space.

A mailer has an outer, longitudinally extending, biodegradable film with lateral edges folded on itself to form a pocket having an opening and sealable by a flap. An assembly is composed of an inner, longitudinally extending, biodegradable film having lateral edges and a longitudinal extending pad composed of textile cuttings and microbial and superabsorbent powders. The inner film extends longitudinally around the pad and is attached to the pad. The assembly is positioned in the pocket with the inner film being sealed to the outer film adjacent the opening to the pocket trapping the pad between the outer and inner films. Sealing tape is mounted on the inner film adjacent to the pocket to seal the pocket closed. The lateral edges of both the outer and inner films, which extend laterally beyond the pad, are heat sealed together. A container has an outer box an inner insulative layer. The insulative layer is made from flocked textiles and is mixable with absorbatives and antimicrobials.

Described is a containment device for holding a container that defines a container interior volume. The containment device can include a base portion enclosing a base portion interior volume, the base portion including: a plurality of base walls, a trough extending from at least one of the base walls, and a substantially horizontal support surface adapted to support the container above the base portion interior volume. The base portion interior volume can be equal to or greater than the container interior volume. An enclosure can extend above the base portion, the enclosure including a plurality of enclosure walls adapted to surround the container. The enclosure walls can define an opening above the trough, the opening adapted for insertion of the container into the enclosure.

A blister pack having a backing having a first side and an opposing second side. Each of the first and second side is flat or planar. The blister pack can also include a cover having a first side and an opposing second side. At least a portion of the second side of the cover is adhered to the first side of the backing to form a sealed package for containing product. The cover can include at least one blister. The blister pack can also include an active member positioned within each blister. Each active member can be in the form of a ring with an opening extending therethrough or a depression formed therein.

A package for preserving respiring produce contained in the package, in particular vegetables, fruit, herbs, spices and/or flowers, and an associated method are provided. The package defines a package volume for containing a portion of the produce and a package atmosphere, and comprises a packaging material, in particular a polymer film (1A), provided with at least one perforation (3) enabling gas exchange with the atmosphere surrounding the package (1) to form the package into a Controlled Atmosphere Package (CAP). The packaging material has a Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR), a carbon dioxide transmission rate (CO.sub.2TR) and an oxygen transmission rate (O.sub.2TR), wherein the WVTR of the packaging material is in a range of 50-1200 ml/(m.sup.2.Math.24 hrs), the CO.sub.2TR of the packaging material is larger than 1000 ml/(m.sup.2.Math.24 hrs), and a ratio β=CO.sub.2TR/O.sub.2TR of the packaging material is larger than 4.

Provided is a packaging system for an oxygen-sensitive compound (a drug, such as DHE, or an excipient such as exametazime), the system including a container, a self-activated oxygen scavenger (including an iron-based or non-iron based) and an oxygen-impermeable enclosure (e.g., an aluminum pouch). Also provided is a method of producing an oxygen-sensitive compound.

A dried food fresh-keeping packaging bag structure includes a packaging bag and a fresh-keeping device in the packaging bag. The fresh-keeping device includes a storage box. One side of the storage box is attached to an inner surface of the packaging bag. The storage box has a storage chamber filled with a preservative. One side of the storage chamber is formed with an outlet provided with a breathable film to block the preservative. An outside of the breathable film is provided with a sealing film to seal the storage chamber. One end of the sealing film extends to an outside of a mouth of the packaging bag to form a pull portion. When in use, the pull portion is pulled to tear the sealing film from the fresh-keeping device, so that the dried food product in the packaging bag is kept dry by the preservative.

Provided is a novel oxygen-absorbing resin composition having excellent oxygen-absorbing performance and suppressing odor generation after absorption of oxygen even if a material responsive to a metal detector is not used. Further provided is an oxygen-absorbing resin composition having excellent oxygen-absorbing performance in a wide range of humidity conditions from low humidity to high humidity. Such an oxygen-absorbing resin composition contains a copolymerized polyolefin compound and a transition metal catalyst, in which the copolymerized polyolefin compound contains at least one constituent unit having a tetralin ring.
